sarah palin resigns: is she fleeing scandal?
Published Jul. 4, 2009Views: 988
What is behind Palin's resignation from office?
Palin's shocking announcement seems to belie plans for a Presidential run. Generally, when you run for election to a high office it's understood that you'll stick around to do the job. She only had 18 months left, she should have at least completed that term. A quitter never succeeds.
If it turns out Palin is fleeing office in the face of something more egregious or scandalous, we would be averaging the loss of one GOP Presidential hopeful per week. Perhaps it will be revealed that Palin and SC governor Mark Sanford had a liaison during one of those Republican governor conferences. Palin has been absent alot lately from Alaska, and her popularity rating has decreased to 55%.
Stay tuned, these Republicans are fun to watch.

You can be as snide as you want, but for a group that claims to support women and their choices you sure forgot about that in your attempt to destroy a family. Congrats, you misogynist liberals won the day. Sleep well.

How is that possible when Bristol was not at the game? Excusing statuatory rape jokes won't get you very far in life.

-Consistently fighting false ethics complaints spread by those opposed to her personally, costing the state (and her) money.
-The attempted destruction of her family by the hands of the media.
If you differ with Palin's policies fine, but I don't understand the personal hatred you lefties have for this woman. You excuse sexist comments, excused the death threats against her children, and laugh with glee now that she's resigned. Perhaps it is a requirement of liberals not to have a soul.

The pendejos forgot that their geriatric numbers are fading year after year, and they have really disenfranchised the younger members of the party.
And now they are committing fratricide the way in which the holier than thou leaders are getting caught doing all the things they criticize others for.
For all practical purposes, the republican party is committing suicide the long painful way.

...the FBI's Alaska spokesman said the bureau had no investigation into Palin for her activities as governor, as mayor or in any other capacity.
"There is absolutely no truth to those rumors that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true." He added that there was "no wiggle room" in his comments for any kind of inquiry.

He apologize for any confusion, and that should've been the end of that. The man is a father, and he wouldn't make a joke about a 14yo child having sex with a baseball player.

Yes he would make such a joke and he did.
Letterman used to be kind of funny, now he's just a jerk.
